[The effect of insufficient nutrition during the suckling of rats on their growth and digestion]

Abstract

The average weight of the bodies and the small intestine brush was 30% less in the malnourished 21-day old rats as compared with the control. The weight of the pancreas was 18% less. A decrease in the hydrolytic strength of the enzyme pools followed the changes in enzymatic activity during the primary and the last hydrolysis of food.
